Chapter 6 Holding the Lance (5b)
Li Xu came from a humble background, so he was extremely humble, even if he had just returned triumphantly, he treated the generals who came to greet him as usual, and there was no contempt between his words. Therefore, whether it is Li Jiancheng's subordinates or Wang Fubao's subordinates, they are willing to come forward to say hello to him, say a few words of greeting, and take the opportunity to express their admiration in their hearts.
But everyone wanted to hear a wonderful description of the battlefield from Li Xu's words, but they couldn't. mentioned the surprise attack a few days ago, not only Xuzi's reaction was plain, but even Zhou Daniu, who used to like to say one into two, turned over and over again, but "The brothers drove for two days and nights, and they were so tired that they died." "The other party's negligence in defense is taken advantage of by our army and so on!" The specific plans, the destruction of the camp, and the bloody battles are all summarized in a nutshell.
Hedong and Dou Jiajun are itching to take the lead, and then think about it, similar to this kind of big victory of breaking more with less and capturing it in one fell swoop, General Li doesn't know how many times he has created it since his debut, and it is no wonder that the generals of the Boling Army can't raise their spirits to brag. It's like a person eating haisai in front of bird's nest shark fin all day long, occasionally eating pickles and tofu may feel fresh, and you carry a few pig's trotters as delicious in front of their eyes, people naturally don't even bother to lift their heads.
Reading this section, everyone's respect for Bolingjun inevitably deepened a little. Some of them thought in their hearts, 'The next time they fight the enemy, they must follow General Li to see and learn.' Even if you can't fight side by side with him, waving the flag behind him and beating the war drum will have a glow on his face in front of his colleagues in the future. Some said secretly in their hearts, "I don't know if the son of our family has the fortune to take General Li under his command this time." With this person, Brother Zuo Jun will be able to pull his chest higher when he sees Liu Hongji, Hou Junji and others again in the future? ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Jiancheng set up a celebration banquet in the Chinese army, and paid for the generals to clean up the dust. As allies, Wang Fubao and his main generals were also invited. After three rounds of drinking, Chen Yanshou asked about the battlefield again, and this time several core figures of the Boling Army made some preparations, and Fang Yannian made a detailed summary on behalf of everyone. The battle situation that has been processed and sorted out by the readers sounds much more organized than in the hasty Q&A in the morning, and the excitement is enough to make people look at it. It's just that compared with the bland summary from the general's mouth, it is a little more fancy, a little less domineering and calm.
But in any case, there is one thing that everyone is very convinced of, that is, with General Li here, Gu Toru may not be able to afford any big waves. If Gu Toru still has the idea of driving the minions to fight for consumption, everyone will cut off one of his arms once they go out of the jam, and after a few times, the victory will be revealed without a final battle.
If the Battle of the Great Wall is over, General Li will definitely not be able to turn against Hedong again. In that way, with the strength and military exploits in the hands of this person, as well as his in-law relationship with the Li Yuan family, his achievements in officialdom in the future will be limitless. Therefore, out of simple admiration, or out of the intention of paving the way for the future, the generals of Hedong treat Li Xu like the stars holding the moon, in comparison, the world prince Jiancheng seems to be deserted. Fortunately, Li Jiancheng was originally a very generous person, even if he felt the difference between cold and warm, he just smiled.
After the celebration banquet, some middle-level generals dispersed one after another. Li Xu, Li Jiancheng, Chen Yanshou, Wang Fubao, and other core figures seized the time to sort out the current specific situation of the enemy and us, so as not to cause a one-sided dilemma for the main generals to grasp the news because Li Xu left for the past few days. The information gathered from several parties was combined, and everyone found that the final decisive battle was not far away.
After the news of the thirteen tribes of the Xia tribe took the initiative to retreat north, and the news of the Khan spread, no matter whether the relationship with the Turkic royal court was close or sparse, those tribes who blindly followed Gu Tulu to fight the autumn wind had to weigh their own catties. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Gutoru Khan must achieve a brilliant victory as soon as possible, and use practical actions to tell the eastern steppe heroes that the success of the Turks' southward march this time is still nine out of ten. In addition, the successive failures of the Turks' tentative offensive in Hedong were also one of the main reasons why Shibi Khan, Gu Tulu and others changed their previous strategy of driving tigers and devouring wolves. The Ma Yi army led by Shi Song Jingang, the commander of the army under the command of Liu Wuzhou, was defeated and lost in front of Li Wan'er three times, and if the Ashina brothers did not make any achievements, I am afraid that the Han Khans who were on the side would also have to consider whether the Turkic tree was reliable.
"The situation is getting more and more favorable to us, Brother Hongji and Chai Shao joined forces with King Qin in the east, and those ministers who stayed in the eastern capital spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and actually gave up all the counties between Jingshi and Luoyang, and stationed heavy troops near Michi, refusing to be outside the door!" With a bit of alcohol, Li Jiancheng continued to inform everyone. This is the good news that was just delivered from Chang'an yesterday, and it is very important to the development of the Li family. After the eastern capital retreated to Mianchi, it was no longer able to harass all parts of Hedong County. And the Li family was just able to remove some of the soldiers and horses from the banks of the Yellow River and put them where they were needed more.
"What about the old general Qu Tutong? How did he choose? When it came to military affairs, Li Xu immediately became articulate, pinched the tea cup in his hand to his fingertips, and asked questions while playing.
"General Qu has already announced that he is willing to obey the orders of the new emperor!" Li Jiancheng smiled and hinted proudly to everyone.
As we all know, the new emperor is nothing more than a puppet set up by the Li family. Loyalty to the new emperor is equivalent to loyalty to the Li family. In this way, the strength of the Li family has increased a lot, and the ability to control the Hedong region has also increased to more than eight or nine out of ten.
Wang Fubao couldn't see the pride of the Hedong generals, rolled his eyes, and said abruptly, "A soft bone who hides when he sees hard, what's strange about him surrendering." Surrender to your Li family today, and tomorrow you may be able to take the gold and silver sent by your Li family to the clay cylinder army. The day after tomorrow, you may not know who to go with! ”
These words immediately aroused public outrage, and before Li Jiancheng could refute them, some generals in the Boling army who were familiar with Qu Tutong shouted: "Where did General Wang come from. The old general Qu Tutong is a hero who has been famous for a long time. ”
"Fame doesn't necessarily have bones. The more famous some people are, the shorter their knowledge is, and the more forward-looking they are! Wang Fubao retorted unceremoniously and drunkenly.
He is not sincere in finding fault, but he has been angry in his stomach recently, and he really can't get used to Li Jiancheng's behavior. These days, almost every soldier of the Dou family army feels that the generals of Hedong and Boling cherish each other, but they have a taste of deliberate neglect for themselves. If it was just that the officers and soldiers of the Boling Army were indifferent to the Dou Family's army, after all, they had beaten hundreds of thousands of allied troops in Hebei Lvlin to the ground and fled, and they had that proud qualification. And why did the soldiers and horses of Hedong follow Dou Jiajun to make a score? Everyone is a guest army, and they have not made an inch. Really pulled in front of the wolf rider, maybe who will pee his pants first!
"Isn't General Wang drunk? Even if General Qu surrenders to my family, he will still be a distinguished guest of my family. You insulted your guests in front of so many people, don't you think that I, the host, am weak and can't be bullied? Li Jiancheng heard Wang Fubao say more and more harshly, his face sank, and he asked loudly.
"You are the master of this place, hehe, His Royal Highness, you are too anxious, right? Where is the governor of the six counties? If you want to be the master, you have to ask the Boling soldiers if they agree! Wang Fubao was rude on his face, but he was not easy to get along with. In the blink of an eye, Li Jiancheng's true purpose of rewarding the soldiers during the day was revealed.
At this moment, all the Hedong generals couldn't sit still, and jumped behind Li Jiancheng with a bang. How could the generals of the Dou family army be bullied by their own masters, and they also rubbed their fists and rubbed their palms to Wang Fubao's side. The elder Shi Chen Yanshou was so anxious to persuade his own people, and stopped the other party, and he was sweating profusely.
"I remember that everyone said that they would defeat the enemy, and there would be no distinction between them. Could it be that they all think that the enemy's skills are too poor, and they want to go for them first? Seeing that the two groups were about to fight, Shi Defang sneered and said indifferently.
These words were quite powerful, and they choked Hedong and the generals of the Dou family at the same time. I wanted to fight with the German side, but I was hindering Li Xu's face, so I had no choice but to snort and pant heavily.
At this point, it is impossible for Li Xu to stay out of the matter. He put down the teacup in his hand and persuaded everyone with a smile, "Everyone is drunk and drunk, and they forget when they wake up, so why be so serious." We're all going to have our backs on the battlefield, and we can still be suspicious of each other because of a few jokes! Drinking tea, tea can relieve hangover. ”
Li Jiancheng didn't want to upset Li Xu, shrugged his shoulders, and sat back in his place with a sneer.
"When it comes to the battlefield, Lao Tzu's back doesn't dare to rush at someone like the surname Qu!" Wang Fubao also sneered and returned to his seat.
"General Wang didn't know that when the Turks broke through Yanmen, General Qu was the first to go up. I later ambushed Shibi, and I also handed over my back to General Qu! Li Xu smiled again and explained in a low voice.
Hearing this, Wang Fubao was stunned at first, then his face was embarrassed, and he quickly stood up again and made amends, "So, Wang is abrupt!" ”
"General Wang didn't know the situation, and it wasn't abrupt. According to Li's opinion, if it is against the Turkic wolf, the monarchs here will not have a soft bone. When the foreign enemy arrives at the doorstep, no matter who encounters it, he will fight to meet it! Unless he's not a man! Li Xu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold Wang Fubao and laughed.
That's it, if you can draw a sword and fight externally, you are a hero. As for fighting with your own people, winning or losing may not be a good thing! Wang Fubao also laughed and responded.
